Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,828 hymnals Topics: Means of Grace Missions Lyrics: 1. Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2. For Him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown His head; His Name, like sweet perfume shall rise With ev'ry morning sacrifice. 3. People and realms, of ev'ry tongue, Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His Names. 4. Blessing abound where'er He reigns, The pris'ner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 5. Let ev'ry creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud amen. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

Not Worthy, Lord

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Means of Grace Communion First Line: Not worthy Lord to gather up the crumbs Lyrics: 1. Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs With trembling hand that from Thy table fall, A weary, heavy-laden sinner comes To plead Thy promise and obey Thy call. 2. I am not worthy to be thought Thy child, Nor sit the last and lowest at Thy board; Too long a wand'rer and too oft beguiled, I only ask one reconciling word. 3. One word from Thee, my Lord, one smile, one look, And I could face the cold, rough world again; And with that treasure in my heart could brook The wrath of devils and the scorn of men. 4. I hear Thy voice; Thou bidd'st me come and rest; I come, I kneel, I clasp Thy pierced feet; Thou bidd'st me take my place, a welcome guest Among Thy saints, and of Thy banquet eat. 5. My praise can only breathe itself in prayer, My prayer can only lose itself in Thee; Dwell Thou forever in my heart, and there, Lord, let me sup with Thee; sup Thou with me. Used With Tune: ERNAN

Stone, 1839-1901 Appears in 893 hymnals Topics: The Church and Means of Grace The Church Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation, By water and the word: From heav'n He came and sought her To be His holy Bride; With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. 2 Elect from ev'ry nation, Yet one o'er all the earth; Her charter of salvation, One Lord, one Faith, one birth; One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food; And to one hope she presses, With ev'ry grace endued. 3 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious, Shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth hath union With God, the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: Oh, happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace, that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Used With Tune: AURELIA

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 488 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace Baptism of infants Lyrics: 1 See Israel's gentle shepherd stand, With all-engaging charms! Hark! how he calls the tender lambs, And takes them in his arms! 2 "Permit them to approach, (he cries) Nor scorn their humble name; It was to save such souls as these, With pow'r and love I came." 3 We bring them, Lord, with grateful hearts, And yield them up to thee; Rejoic'd that we ourselves are thine, Thine let our offspring be! 4 Thus Lydia's house was sanctified, When she receiv'd the word; Thus the believing jailer gave His family to the Lord. 5 Ye little flock, with pleasure hear; Ye children, seek his face; And fly with transport to receive The gospel of his grace. 6 If orphans they are left behind, Thy care, O God! we trust; And let thy promise cheer our hearts, If weeping o'er their dust.

Well thou may'st claim that heart of me, Which owes so much to thine. 6 Yes, thou shalt surely have my heart, My soul, my strength, my all; With life itself I'll freely part, My Jesus, at thy call. Scripture: John 6:53

Her walls before thee stand, Dear as the apple of thine eye, And graven on thy hand. 3 If e'er to bless thy sons My voice or hands deny: These hands let useful skill forsake, This voice in silence die. 4 If e'er my heart forget Her welfare or her woe: Let ev'ry joy this heart forsake, And ev'ry grief o'erflow. 5 For her my tears shall fall; For her my pray'rs ascend; To her my cares and toils by giv'n, 'Till toils and cares shall end. 6 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heav'nly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise.

Pray'r is the soul's sincere desire

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 859 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace Prayer—Private Lyrics: 1 Pray'r is the soul's sincere desire, Utter'd or unexpress'd, The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2 Pray'r is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear; The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. 3 Pray'r is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Pray'r the sublimest strains that reach The majesty on high. 4 Pray'r is the christian's vital breath, The christian's native air, His watchword at the gate of death-- He enters heav'n with pray'r. 5 Pray'r is the contrite sinners' voice Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice And say,--"Behold he prays." Scripture: Acts 9:11

Jesus, Lover Of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,329 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly; While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Savior, hide, Till the storm of life be past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, O leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Amen. Used With Tune: MARTYN
